This will be our first round of negotiations. Our goal is to achieve fair working conditions, including critical job security provisions, and a constructive dispute resolution process that protects our workplace rights as professional public servants and our ability to work creatively to help shape the workplace of the future.

The only way we can do this is by standing together and demonstrating our collective strength.

Frequently asked questions

What is collective bargaining?

Collective bargaining occurs when a group of people in a workplace band together to increase their negotiating power. There is a greater likelihood of success together than there is apart, so it is also about demonstrating our collective will and resolve.

These negotiations between employees and management lead to a legally binding collective agreement that details many of the terms and conditions of our employment, including wages, working conditions, job security, and more.

This collective agreement also ensures the employer consults with us and that we work collaboratively to seek solutions on matters that affect us. It means our workplaces are governed with transparency and fairness.

Learn more about the collective bargaining process.

When does bargaining start?

Stay tuned for updates.

We have given the Employer our notice to bargain and bargaining for our first collective agreement is underway. 

The terms and conditions of the OPS 2018 - 2022 collective agreement remain frozen in place until our own collective agreement comes into effect. The new agreement may have retroactive measures.

How will I get updates during bargaining?

Make sure your contact information with AMAPCEO is up-to-date, and that you are subscribed to receive our emails. Visit our Subscribe page if you haven’t opted-in to receive our emails.

Signed members also receive exclusive updates and event invitations. If you haven’t become a signed member of AMAPCEO, you can do so at no additional cost at amapceo.ca/membership.

We will also continually update this webpage with updates as they become available. And the union’s leadership will meet with members either virtually or in-person, as public health regulations permit, to update members on progress.

How were our bargaining goals set?

Every AMAPCEO member was able to take part in a survey asking us where we desire improvements to the current collective agreement.

The survey results were provided to the bargaining team, staff, and union leadership to draft the broad bargaining priorities.

These results, further informed by research, additional consultation, and legal advice, will be used to generate more specific bargaining plans. The Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for reviewing and approving this mandate.

Why is it important to support my colleagues and union during bargaining?

We have worked hard to achieve the current terms and conditions of our employment. Supporting your colleagues, the bargaining team, and our union, helps demonstrate our collective strength and our resolve to securing a fair contract. We are stronger together.

Union leadership and local AMAPCEO activists may also ask you to take specific actions to demonstrate your solidarity. This could include displaying a flag on your desk, using a union background during a video call, or attending an event.

These actions serve as proof of member cohesion and support for AMAPCEO. This can speed up the bargaining process and result in improved collective agreements for all members.
